Can I Use CEFALY With Botox and Other Migraine Treatments?

Treating migraine successfully often means using more than one treatment method. You might have to test several medications, tweak your diet and schedule, identify and evade common triggers, try alternative treatments and continue to adjust your approach over time.

You may wonder: How does CEFALY fit into my treatment plan? If I begin using CEFALY for migraine prevention and migraine relief, do I have to stop using other treatments?

Here, we'll review the basics and answer some questions we often hear from CEFALY users. Remember, your healthcare provider is the best person to give you specific guidance about how to add CEFALY to your migraine treatment plan.

Can you use CEFALY with Botox?

Yes. Our recommendation is to wait 48-72 hours after botulinum toxin injection to treat with the CEFALY device. But you can use both as part of your migraine treatment routine.

En otras palabras, el Botox ayuda a prevenir la migraña al unirse a los nervios y amortiguar temporalmente las señales eléctricas en esos nervios. El programa de tratamiento PREVENTIVO de CEFALY, en cambio, estimula el nervio trigémino para desensibilizarlo con el tiempo.

There is no contraindication for using CEFALY with Botox, and CEFALY Technology has not received any reports of side effects or adverse events resulting from the use of both treatments together. Consulte con su médico antes de agregar nuevos tratamientos a su programa de alivio de la migraña.

Can you use CEFALY with preventive migraine medication?

Because CEFALY is a drug-free medical device, it doesn’t interact with medications. CEFALY is an external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS) device that sends tiny electrical impulses through an electrode positioned on the forehead to modify pain transmission and processing in the trigeminal nerve.

En algunos ensayos clínicos, los pacientes han usado CEFALY simultáneamente con medicamentos preventivos para la migraña, sin que se produzcan efectos adversos. Estos medicamentos incluyen topiramatos, betabloqueantes y algunos antidepresivos.

Other medications, such as anti-CGRPs and small molecule treatments, have not yet been tested alongside CEFALY in clinical trials. Consulte con su médico acerca del uso de CEFALY si actualmente está tomando algún medicamento para prevenir las migrañas.

Can you use CEFALY with acute migraine medication?

Consulte con su proveedor de atención médica acerca de cómo usar CEFALY y su medicamento recetado para la migraña a la vez y de manera segura. No se han realizado estudios con pacientes que utilicen medicamentos para la migraña aguda simultáneamente con CEFALY. Sin embargo, los participantes del estudio tomaron fármacos abortivos de la migraña después de una sesión de CEFALY y no han presentado efectos adversos.

Compliant daily use of the CEFALY PREVENT program has been clinically proven to reduce intake of acute anti-migraine medication, as well as decreasing monthly migraine attacks and headache days. Esta es una buena noticia para muchas personas con migraña, quienes a menudo experimentan dolor de cabeza por uso excesivo de medicamentos y/o se vuelven resistentes a los medicamentos para la migraña aguda con el tiempo.

Can you use CEFALY with other medical devices? 

We do not recommend using CEFALY alongside other medical devices for migraine, as the concurrent use of medical devices for migraine has not been studied in trials. Si está utilizando actualmente otro dispositivo médico para tratar la migraña u otro dolor, como un dispositivo de estimulación nerviosa eléctrica transcutánea (TENS), neuromodulación eléctrica remota (REN) o un dispositivo electrónico eTNS, debe suspender su uso antes de comenzar el tratamiento con CEFALY. Consulte a su proveedor de atención médica para que lo asesore al comenzar o terminar el uso de cualquier dispositivo médico para la migraña.

Can you use CEFALY with alternative treatments for migraine?

It’s fine to use CEFALY alongside alternative treatments for migraine, such as meditation, acupuncture, cognitive behavioral therapy, stress relief techniques, etc. Combining alternative treatments with medical interventions is called an integrative approach to migraine treatment. Many people find that this kind of approach is really effective — not only in reducing migraine pain and attack frequency, but also in helping them manage symptoms and feel better overall.

La respuesta corta a todas estas preguntas es: ¡consulte a su proveedor de atención médica! They can help you make the best decisions about how to add CEFALY to your migraine treatment program.
